They still have an obscene payroll, which people will deny.

Ya I didn’t realize it looks like there around $170M so i guess you should get some return.

Is the first game on TV?

Yes.

You'd think they could've stopped simulcasting the free agency programming on SN1 to show some pre-game so people would know where to head to watch the actual game. I hardly think many people have access to SN1 that don't have access to the SN regionals, so what's the point of having the same show on both channels?

But of course this is Rogers. They don't do things unless it doesn't make sense and is probably painful for the consumer.

Accurate!

 

[The Nemesis]

Turns out the game is on regional sportsnets (ie Pacific for me)

 

[TF97]

Some questionable base running decisions the last few games for Springer

 

[canucksfan]

3 straight fastballs in the zone to Devers makes no sense when the count is 0-2.

 

[habamillions]

Ok so you can score a run when you get the leadoff man on base. I didnt know that.

Only if you're a team whose city name doesn't end in a vowel.

 

[The Nemesis]

phew. Gurriel looks like he would've been DOA at 2nd if not for the bad throw/catch.

 

[The Nemesis]

Hey Randal, it's Randal.

No one cares.

Work harder.

 

[TF97]

Alright, Randal, you’ve redeemed yourself for at least today.

But nobody cares, work harder.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Randal - a Ray of sunshine

 

[ShaneFalco]

Robbie is noisy

 

[barilko05]

Anybody getting an '84 team vibe about this group? Solid group of young players who came up together just starting to put it together, emerging superstar, fairly good rotation, all sabotaged by a lousy bullpen and no lights out closer?

It really makes me feel good about next year...as long as we don't meet KC in the playoffs! Anybody know if Tom Henke has a kid playing in the minors?

 

[The Nemesis]

This game is just motoring along. Especially when you figure it's just 7 innings.

Now we wait for Charlie to go and put in 3 important relievers in the last 2 innings and gas the pen before game 2.

 

[The Nemesis]

Robbie is noisy

It's probably the tight pants. Have to imagine that every stretch and flex is agony.

 

[The Nemesis]

 

[theaub]

Maybe the way to resolve our 7th-9th inning woes is to only play 7 innings.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

Healthy springer is good news for the jays. Each game his avg is rising

Suddenly the Rogers Centre roof mysteriously "fails" during testing and is stuck open for the rest of the season.

 

[TF97]

Great job by Ray getting through 5 innings against that lineup allowing just 1 run. That shows the difference between Ray this season and the Ray of old. In past years, if he didn't have his stuff, there could be a full blown meltdown where he walks 5-6 batters. This year? Even in outings where he doesn't have it, he's been grinding through 5 or 6 innings and keeping the offence in the game.

 

[Deebo]

Ray coming out for the 6th, how do we feel about this?

 

[canucksfan]

Not sure I’d put him out again
